An audit by Apple found that some of the dining rooms and dormitories used by workers did not meet requirements.

More than 150 women who worked at the plant were affected by food poisoning and ended up in the hospital, according to local media.

The company apologized and said it was looking into the situation.

The Taiwanese firm apologized and said they were taking steps to improve the facilities and services.

The factory has been closed since December.

An Apple spokesman said that they dispatched independent auditors after recent concerns about food safety.

Some of the remote dormitory accommodations and dining rooms being used for employees do not meet our requirements, and we are working with the supplier to ensure a comprehensive set of corrective actions are quickly implemented.

17,000 people work at the iPhone factory, which is 25 miles from Chennai.

The Tamil Nadu state government asked Foxconn to review its worker facilities after the food-poisoning cases.
